I hear you. If a woman feeding her child makes you uncomfortable, or if you think it's sexually explicit... then maybe YOU need to re-evaluate YOURSELF.

I didn't think it was looked down on so much as some people feeling it's not necessary to make a political statement with it.

We had a woman breastfeeding her baby on a $12,000.00 sofa at a store that I was an Interior Designer at. She was not my client, but some people asked me to tell her to excuse herself to the women's toilet to breastfeed her baby. I told them them that a toilet was not sanitary enough for that. However, had she stained the sofa- her bill would have been high to recover with the same hand embroidered silk.

I agree, but the manager would not do anything. I wasn't going to set myself up for a law suit. That company went bankrupt last year.

Men are usually against the idea of women exposing themselves in public when it isn't sexual in nature.

Breast feeding in America is not looked down on, exhibitionism is . A woman can feed a child privately , or Draped under a baby blanket discreetly and none will ever know .
Breast milk in bottles are for public locations

The Attention seeking " LOOK AT ME BE NATURAL " are the boorish and Ignorant ones.

This country has always been very prudish and this is a prime example. Many other country's do not have a problem with this or anything close. This is the way it is suppose to be but somehow an exposed breast is simply too sexual in the sick minds in this country.

Ignorance. They object because they associate breast to sexuality.

It's not if properly covered. What most people object to is showing everything.
